Sooyoung shares her thoughts on Jessica’s baseball pitch

Girls’ Generation‘s Sooyoung shared her thoughts on member Jessica‘s embarassing baseball pitchin May.
On the June 6th broadcast of SBS‘s ‘One Night of TV Entertainment‘, MCs Sooyoung and Yoon Do Hyun analyzed recent baseball pitches made by celebrities.
As they were looking through a variety of opening pitches, Jessica’s pitch also showed on screen. Jessica had a perfect pitching stance and a powerful throw, but the baseball ended up landing only a few feet away from her. As to not interfere with the baseball game, she was only given one chance for the opening pitch and unfortunately had to step off the mound.
Jessica’s pitch became a very hot topic, and several parodies were made. One parody features an explosion going off after the ball hits the ground.
In response to Jessica’s pitch, Sooyoung humorously commented, “This is the kind of pitch that probably won’t happen within this decade again. I’m proud that we’re members [of the same group].
